“Electrifying condos and older apartment buildings is cumbersome and expensive for owners. My last HOA couldn't afford it, leaving six residents hunting for chargers and more of us waiting to switch to EVs. This is great middle ground and the earnings support affordability.”

“This was one of my biggest frustrations with early child care — you pay for 52 weeks of the spot or give it up. The gig economy will only intensify. And cities and states offering universal child care will need to meet staffing ratios. There’s a big potential in this problem.”

“There are so many great, healthy businesses that can flow cash but can't make the next venture round milestone. I am tired of seeing default alive companies fail because they serve niche or non-rocketship growth markets.”

“I ignored my gut the first time”

“Many of my clients will want this as a backup during their first 3 years of being self-employed. Agree with Joah's case for entrepreneurial B2B.”

“Regardless of what happens federally on 5 Nov, RubyWell helps with our shortage of home healthcare workers. This is also a path to converting unpaid, unseen labor into paid labor that comes with work continuity and contribution to the social safety net for folks who will need it next.”

“The bias is real. And it's hard to find quality health and lifestyle support tailored to women. Join any group of 30-somethings and it's fertility and relationships; 40-somethings, perimenopause and parenting. Maybe some real estate and entrepreneurship. We are asking each other offline; this is a safe place to capture those conversations and scale beyond our peer groups.”

“I want the data I'm collecting via my wearables to work for me, for sports and for my overall health. Also to keep my favorite soccer players on the pitch and out of surgery!”

“I live this problem every day, managing operations for 10 small businesses. AI capabilities are improving within tech tools but not across them. It would bring me great joy to simply say "Hey Siri, sync... from today" to free up my team to do more strategic work than changing statuses and propagating notes.”

“Love bringing investment bank-level money knowledge to people who can benefit. 100% behind NIL options over five years for college athletes who may not have access to a pro league or pro-level prospects.”
